Hi there - thanks for signing up. I really appreciate it - I know your inbox is a sacred place.

Groove Theory is a newsletter about how creative work really happens - and how we can make it land with more rhythm, structure, and presence.

Whether you lead sessions, pitch ideas, teach, write, or just want to feel a little more in the pocket… you’re in good company here.

Every couple of weeks, you’ll get:
• Practical tools for creative delivery and decision-making
• Lessons from DJs, facilitators, founders & educators
• A few riffs on how to show up and shape ideas that actually connect
• And the occasional deep-cut track (always thematically on point)

If you’re curious to dig in, here are a couple of good starting points:

Lastly, the spam folder / promotions tab is a sad place.

I'm assuming you didn't sign up so I'd end up there. To prevent this happening, you can add this email address (howard@howardgray.net) to your email client's address book. Or if you’re using Gmail, simply drag this email from your Promotions tab over to your Primary tab, and when they ask if you would like to do this for all future messages, click 'Yes'. Lovely.

And if you ever want to share what you’re working on - or wondering about - I’d genuinely love to hear. Just hit reply.

Thanks again for subscribing!

Howard
